Accepting email secondary domain
I have an SBS 2008 server which was configured to accept email from a second domain. For the past year only two of the users were using this secondary domain and there have been no problems. Yesterday I tried to add secondary email addresses for several other users. All email sent to the newly created secondary addresses is being bounced. Email to the original 2 users' secondary addresses is still being delivered.
To add the additional email address I simply added a second SMTP entry to each user's email profile using the Exchange Console.
Any ideas what the problem might be?

hi
- as aboveNDR will reveal the cause of the bounce.
- Have you restarted server or AD services or excahnge services ? they might have not propagated.

There is 3rd party journaling setup for this secondary domain. I don't remember how it was configured and I am wondering if that could be causing the problem. I didn't see anything obvious in the journaling config but I don't recall exactly how it was originally setup. I am looking for the relevant docs now.

Turns out this was a DNS issue. It seems that the MX record points to a 3rd party mail server. Emails to 2 of the users are then forwarded to our server and delivered. The 3rd party email server doesn't know anything about any other users and so the messages are bounced.
Now all I have to do is try and figure how to get access to these DNS records. No one seems to know anything about the account and I am having trouble contacting the registrar..........
